Included a group trip to Grand Canyon, one of seven wonders of the world, and other cultural and natural sites. Sixty empowered young professionals and youth from around the world gathered under the Youth Peace Ambassadors (YPA) International in building peace in the world. Youth from countries all around the world shared experiences of working to promote the culture of peace and to develop practical action plans.
Since 2010, Eubios Ethics Institute in cooperation with partner institutions including American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN), UNESCO, Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation and others have organized seven Youth Peace Ambassador Training Workshops across the Asia-Pacific region with 520 youth from 50 countries. No matter what your circumstances or age you are welcome to join. Together, the participants identify issues that can promote a culture of peace. So far they have developed 220 action projects promoted at making a difference in their communities. People and NGOs will come from all faith communities and interests.
There was a particular theme in YPA9 on empowerment of indigenous Peoples. YPA9 was organized with the cooperation of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) Youth Council.
Join us to reflect on life and peace. We will listen to the reports of past peace and community service actions by youth, in a range of areas from around the world. There will be world renowned professors and activists who campaign to protect human rights and peace. All participants will be assisted to develop an action plan to help develop their community and the world. The programme is both for fresh persons to community service as well as persons who are actually doing things to rebuild communities. If you are one of these people, or would like to become one, then you can join us with about 120 participants expected.
